All, following all this up and down I decide to write a short email for two reasons: First of all I want to thank all developers of Numeric, numarray, and the yet to fly scipy_core, esp. Perry/Todd and Travis. I hope that this apparent joining of forces will really get Numeric Python a big step ahead. On the other hand I have personally stepped down from using Python for larger numerical calculation projects, because it was too much of an hassle to get sysops convinced to install it, and because overall the hassles to follow releases, adopting code and explaining colleagues was to big to make up for the ease of coding compared to C++. Yep, there we are. I am REALLY looking forward to the day when I can start a larger project in Python again. I wish and hope that you guys are paving the road for me;) [1] Using scipy_core I would also be happy to work on public documentation, as that is where everybody using scipy_core can easily contribute his share. Maybe it would be a nice team effort to get the numarray Python-style documentation cut down and updated to a good and current reference-manual, pretty much a nicer and cross-linked version of the doc-strings, maybe with more of the examples that were discussed here before. I am sure that Travis writes a good user-manual, and, voila, both would be in the right place! To all the guys actually doing the work: Thank you very much, nevertheless!
